I did it in E1 with Abukuma, Shokaku, Zuikaku, Hiei, Ushio, Hatsushimo with air bases split between X and T, smoke on subs, and an extra recon plane on Hiei.

this is the fleet I used. I think chunchunmaru skips an air raid. I had jets on zui and cut in on shokaku. fletcher was 2 guns and one sonar, yahagi was da with tank and 2 sonars, and the other 2 were full nukes. how have you been playing enough to have 2 muratas but no better fighters than that?

>>45707409
it looks like it only gets as against the single wo composition. is it better to drop artillery spotting from the nagatos or switch out a bomber for a 4th fighter? I can put both jets on shokaku and keep a cut in on zui.

It took a lot of tries until the Ne kais stopped aiming at the carriers, and it was green T. Most runs had all three carriers get wrecked quickly.

In this one RJ and Suzuya had the bombs with Hornet and Shokaku in their extra slots, and Kumano kept the kai ni rockets I originally spent 3 slot items for. It was air supremacy and the enemy airstrike missed, which was rare since it usually took someone out. The airstrike and support killed the three weak enemies; strong support is necessary. Ne torpedoes hit Yahagi and Nagato, and then Ne first round shelling hit Yahagi and missed Naganami. Second round shelling missed Suzuya and then hit Suzuya after her attack.

After the run, Yahagi, Suzuya, and Kumano were naturally sparkling. Suzuya and Kumano had a mix of plane ranks due to shootdowns, but RJ is such a pro her Murata, F4U-4, Jinpu, and type 3 ASW were all >>.

yes the forced potato meta is awful. I had to clear my first event with my only carriers being shokaku who I got lucky crafting and unryuu who miraculously dropped for me in an early map. then right when I think I am free of kitakami being meta in every event because of meme damage they drop isekai2 and mogami k2. even akagi and kaga forced themselves back into relevancy. I am unlucky enough to have never gotten yamato even though I actually want her so I am behind on that front too.

Shokaku is a fat fuck

I am autistic and decided I wasn't going to use any ships drawn by the potato artist. I scrapped my free akagi and only had hiyo and shoho for carriers which made it impossible for me to get past 5-2 until I got shokaku from construction and unryu from my first event.

zuikaga
zuiterprise
zuikaku x shokaku
zuikaku x hatsuzuki for some reason
zuikaku x katsuragi (works better as a platonic senpai kouhai ship, but also doesn't work at all with zuikaku's characterization since she's stuck in 1941/42 mode and doesn't characterize properly for 44)

>>37384546
Barb is a meme, the trainspotter idea from earlier is pretty good
hell, or even the big scorers like Cavalla (still around today, killed shokaku) Sealion (Kongo), Albacore (one tapped Taiho), Darter (Atago and Maya), Redfish (Unryu), Archerfish (Shinano)

Graf was on par with Illustrious, who herself is only second to Shokaku prewar.

Kaga has to steal even the hugs.
Shokaku knows that TTK will happily give her the fuggs.

Musashi, Zuiho, Shokaku, Akigumo and Fubuki

Hornet and Shokaku look nothing alike, why do you keep insisting that Enterprise and Zuishit will? You're just setting yourself up for disappointment.

There's more than one way to do it so "supposed to" is optional, but I like jets and armored carriers, and they worked. For Y chipping, the fleet was Nagato Kongo Shokaku Zuikaku Suzuya Kumano / Kazagumo Yugumo Atlanta Tone Naganami Yukikaze and the cranes had Murata first, jets in their second slots, third was Iwai on one and a fighter on the other, and fighters last. Both Suzuya and Kumano were SPF mules and Tone had double attack, night scout, and SPF. This could get air supremacy on V3. It was common for 10-12 jets to survive a run through Y, but sometimes they got lower, with one run leaving only 2 on Shokaku. Iwai could get shot down sometimes.

For going through node R for gimmicks, Zuiho came in with 2 more fighters, Murata, and a red, and route shelling support was needed. Shokaku got another fighter for air superiority gimmicks and Z, and Zuiho was in on 3rd start point Z runs.

>if you bring your married luckmodded DD
I mean I do, but thats a stupid thing to suggest since quest DDs can be well, anything.

>God damn it, how many CVLs do I need to commit for E5, E6, E7-1, E7-2, E7-3? I am fucking terrified of commiting any more forces because those retarded locks in E7.
Having done up to E7H P2 and glancing over zekamashi, as long as you have one of each CVL you'll be fine, it doesn't suck up fast CVLs like in the old days. You'll sooner run short of CVs which carries on to

>I understand he uses dupes
I'm not sure about his early event guides, but currently the only dupes are Mikuma and Kaga.
Mikuma you can just replace with Mogami because she's unused, fuck if I know why he hasn't updated it.
And for Kaga, but well, I just use one of my dupe Shokaku Kai.

>Fleet
Huh, thats odd, I'm running more fighters and only getting AS, but you're getting AS at all nodes, so weird.

>Shootdown resist
Off hand:
All Elite units confirmed, that means Muratas, Tomonagas and Eguasas. Think it also includes the numbers squads too.
Jets probably.
Skilled units probably.

Zuikaku has a large number of pairings
Zuikaku x Shokaku is common
as is
Zuikaku x Kaga
Zuikaku x Enterprise
Zuikaku x Katsuragi
Zuikaku x Sendai
Zuikaku x Hatsuzuki

SKK is the normal shorthand for shokaku? has been for at least 5 years?

>>24353250
I want to tie her up and force her to watch me fuck another shokaku from another game!

>CarDiv 1's aircraft had attacked TF-17 at 0710, crippling HORNET with three bomb hits and two suicide crashes from ZUIKAKU dive-bombers and two torpedo hits from SHOKAKU torpedo planes that left her dead in the water.

Don't you hate it when some shitty meme gets attached to a girl you like?
First Shokaku and now sushi.

>>23158964
Not him but I chipped with Akitsushima (fast, fcf, spf) Shokaku Zuikaku Suzuya Tone Nissin / Kitakami Iowa Kongo Okinami (anti-PT) Asashio (anti-PT and depth+sonar) Atlanta, with tokai on D, 2F2B on T, and just barely enough planes for air superiority. No retreats. Of course, last dance is a completely different fight and I'm going to change for that.

>tfw being a newbro never had enough drum cans
>finally get enough to run all the expositions that need them simultaneously after months of them never dropping
>now rolling them near daily trying to get the good cruiser guns
I hate my luck with this game. This is the exact thing that happened when I got Shokaku too.
